Tue, 07 Jun 2016 13:10:08 +0000http://www.fbcfc.org/?p=481First Baptist Church located at 507 North Rosser in Forrest City, Arkansas is associated with the Tri County Baptist Association and a Southern Baptist Church. Our Mission is the Great Commission and we strive to succeed in this mission by serving our entire community and making efforts to share the Gospel to the ends of the earth. The Christian life is a journey in which we as a group of believers can pray for one another, encourage one another and love one another.

Everyone is welcome at First Baptist Church and when you visit we will do everything in our power to make your visit with us as pleasant as possible. It is our desire that when you are here that you will say that you have been in the presence of the Lord and have truly worshipped with us.

The staff and membership of First Baptist Church welcomes you and your family to worship with us. Worship is very important and should be a regular part of our lives as it builds stronger relationships with Jesus Christ and gives us opportunity to fellowship with others. At First Baptist Church when we worship together we want to know that we have been in the presence of the Lord and trust that you will also. There is nothing more awesome than knowing you have worshipped the Lord! We will be looking for you and your family to join us this Sunday Morning! Our Contemporary Style Worship service is at 8:15 am in the youth building (directly across from our sanctuary building) followed by Bible Study at 9:30 am then our Morning Worship service at 10:45 am. Our Sunday evening we gather at 6:00 pm for worship.

]]>How Do I Get To Heaven?http://www.fbcfc.org/your-ticket-to-heaven-is-here/
Sat, 09 Apr 2016 13:05:27 +0000http://www.fbcfc.org/?p=861It is as simple as A, B, C!

A – Admit that you are a sinner! Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” Due to the fall of man when Adam sinned you were born a sin nature. This does not mean that you’re a bad person but rather it just means that you need someone who can guide you in life and that someone should be Jesus Christ. He loves you and wants to guide you and bring you into a closer relationship with Him! Jesus wants to be not only your friend but Your Heavenly Father!

B – Believe that Jesus died on the cross for your sins, was buried and rose again the third day! 1 John 2:2 says, “And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.” 1 Corinthians 15:4 says, “And that he (Jesus) was buried, and that he (Jesus) rose again the third day according to the scriptures:”

C- Confess with your mouth your sins and ask for forgiveness of your sins and ask Jesus to come into your heart. 1 John 1:9 says, “If we confess our sins, he (Jesus) is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Romans 10:13 says, “For whosoever shall call upon the Lord shall be saved.”

The Bible says in Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” None of us deserve the opportunity to go to Heaven but Jesus Christ loves us so much that He died on the cross in our place paying our sin debt in full. Jesus wants to save you and it will cost you absolutely nothing! It is the best decision that you will ever make in your life to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior!

Salvation is FREE! Accepting Jesus as your Savior is the only ticket that will get you into Heaven. John 14:6 says, “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

If you would like to accept Jesus as your Savior now but you’re not sure what to pray then here is a simple prayer that you can follow.

Dear Jesus, I know that I am a sinner. I know and believe that You died on the cross, were buried and rose again the third day. I confess to You now my sins and ask Your forgiveness. Come into my heart and life and save me. Thank You Jesus! Amen!

First Baptist Church is happy to pray with you and for you and the best way that our Prayer Ministry can be a success is when we know specifically your prayer needs. Under the Ministries heading you will see the words Prayer Ministry with sub headings where you can Submit your prayer request online for our website, you can view the prayer requests that have been submitted online and also there are praise reports that we would like to know about.
